Dear God.

These are the same people who posted that they would protest The Laramie Project at my son's school. The director- who is a lesbian- was afraid that the alums from last year would come back to counter-protest and she said she may cancel the show. I told her that would be wrong to give into them because the show will be played on school property and we have the right to escort the protestors out. I told her that since I'm Jewish, I have learned to be tough and to stand up for injustices like this. She was scared. Personally- if she's so scared- she shouldn't have staged that show! As of now- we're still on! The kids have leanred a lot too!

SupMom - get some students to do the 'angel' thing around them. It will tie into the play, and keep them invisible.

As someone who was in Wyoming for Matt's funeral, I can tell you it works.

They were here last month.

Apparently they just travel to various cities and protest. The local PD always gets their schedule and alerts any institution that is a planned stop.

They were supposed to be here for 3 days protesting outside some public schools (WTF?). The first one was about 2 blocks from where I live. I remember seeing about 20 times more counter protesters (mostly college age students) than Westboro fools.

Anyhoo, the press here reused to cover them except for a blurb in the paper so they packed up and left after one day.
A total non-event.

"Margie Phelps, the daughter of Fred Phelps and the attorney representing the church in its appeals, also said the money that the church receives from Snyder will be used to finance demonstrations. But she also said that the order was a consequence of his decision to sue the church over the demonstration.

"Mr. Snyder and his attorneys have engaged the legal system; there are some rules to that legal engagement," said Phelps, a member of Westboro who says she has participated in more than 150 protests of military funerals.

"They wanted to shut down the picketing so now they're going to finance it," she said."
